Thousands of people protested in Kosovo's capital Kosovo on 17 February 2016 demanding the government's resignation and snap elections as the country marked the eight anniversary of its independence from Serbia. Anger simmered in the country since the government signed an EU-brokered accord with Serbia in August 2015, giving Kosovo’s ethnic Serb minority greater local government powers and the possibility of financing from Belgrade. The protest, organised by opposition parties who rejected the accord, followed a similar one on 9 January, when demonstrators set fire to the government’s headquarters. |
